Let’s stand together and provide these deserving women fashionable apparel to dress for success to get back on their feet and provide for their families. You are truly making an impact. By supporting The Shade Tree you are saving lives and improving the world. Help us change lives by donating brand new clothes to the women and children of this world.

The Shade Tree is impacting the community:

The Shade Tree doors are open 24-hours a day, to any woman, with or without children, and male and female unaccompanied youth who lack a safe, adequate place to live. From the moment you take that first step of courage to enter the shelter, you are guided on a path to help regain your dignity and identity, while escaping the cycle of homelessness or violence.

The Shade Tree is here to help victims of domestic violence, elder abuse, street violence, sexual assault/abuse, and human trafficking victims. Our doors are also open to those facing economic hardships and homelessness.

What is Domestic Violence?Domestic violence is a pattern of abusive behavior used to establish power and control over another person through fear and intimidation, often including the threat or use of violence. Domestic violence can include physical, emotional, psychological, economic, and/or sexual abuse. Abusers use threats, intimidation, isolation, and other behaviors to gain and maintain power over their victims.

Domestic violence can affect anyone, regardless of income, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or religion. One in four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. Domestic violence occurs in same-sex relationships, and men can be victims as well.

What are Some Signs of Domestic Violence?According to the U.S. Department of Justice, domestic violence may include:

Physical abuse such as slapping, kicking, hitting, shoving, or other physical force.

Economic abuse such as controlling the victim’s money, withholding money for basic needs, interfering with school or job, or damaging the victim’s credit.

Several or all of the above forms of violence and abuse may take place.
